Getting started with Payconiq by Bancontact

You have both the Bancontact app and the Payconiq app.

Update

Go to the App Store or Google Play Store and update the Bancontact app. If you have switched on ‘automatic updates’ on your device, this update will of course happen automatically. You will see the new logo appear.

It is important that you do not delete the Payconiq app before you have linked it to the Payconiq by Bancontact app.

Pin code

Open up the Payconiq by Bancontact app and enter your pin code to confirm the update. You can also keep on using this pin code for all your payments with the Payconiq by Bancontact app.

Link your account

Activate your Payconiq account. To do this, follow the instructions in the Payconiq by Bancontact app and enter your Payconiq pin code one last time in the old Payconiq app.

Confirm

Finally, confirm with your pin code from the Payconiq by Bancontact app. This is still the same pin code from your old Bancontact app.

You already have the Bancontact app, but not the Payconiq app.

Update

Go to the App Store or Google Play Store and update the Bancontact app. If you have switched on ‘automatic updates’ on your device, this update will of course happen automatically. You will see the new logo appear.

Pin code

Open up the Payconiq by Bancontact app and enter the pin code of your Bancontact-app to confirm the update.

You will notice that the start screen looks totally different. From now on, you can immediately scan a QR code without first clicking on ‘Pay’. You can receive money using the ‘Receive’ button at the bottom right of the screen.

Link your bank account

With the Payconiq by Bancontact app, it’s also easy to send money to
your contacts remotely or pay in a store. For this, all you need to do is link your bank account to the Payconiq by Bancontact app via your bank’s app. That way, you’ll get even more out of your Payconiq by Bancontact app.

For now, this is only possible if you are a Belfius, CBC, KBC or KBC Brussels customer.

When linking your bank account, we ask for personal details. We will use this information
to check your identity.

You only have the Payconiq app.
